The best lemon drop shots. Sweet and sour, just like classic lemon drop candy, these shots are so yummy and perfect for parties.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 3 to 4 shots 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 ounces freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 ounces vodka
  • 1.5 ounces simple syrup
  • Granulated sugar – rims
  • Lemons – zest and garnish
  • Ice

*This makes 3 to 4 shots.

Instructions

  1. Juice the lemons and set a small amount of juice aside in a bowl for the sugared rims.
  2. Pour sugar into a bowl or on a plate for dipping. Add lemon zest on top of sugar.
  3. Prepare shot glasses by dipping in lemon juice and then in sugar and lemon zest.

Notes

  • Use equal amounts of vodka and lemon juice. Use half the amount of simple syrup compared to vodka.
  • You can use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemon juice, but we prefer freshly-squeezed.
